The staff memo announcing the repricing of Apple's stock options was signed "Steve and the executive team,"

and it soon became public that he was running all of the company's product review meetings.

"Steve! Steve! Steve!" the crowd started to chant, even as he was still being introduced.

When he finally strode onstage -- wearing a black vest, collarless white shirt, jeans, and an impish smile

Then he explained his role at Apple.

"I, like a lot of other people, are pulling together to help Apple get healthy again."

it was clear that he was now in charge at Apple -- and was likely to remain so.
